June 2016 Graceline Aarons BrightI am surprised to learn Chinua Achebe has passed over. I was a young girl when I first read his book "Things Fall Apart" and was mesmerized by his writings. It left a positive indelible impression on my life. I am now 76 years old & I can still the conjuring in my mind as I read that book. My imagination went wild. May his spirit and soul forever rest in peace and may God bless the family from which he came. I share your sorrow sincerely.
